I’m not new to link aggregators/communities, but new to those outside of Reddit. About a month ago I joined Lemmy and today my curiosity led me to Piefed, although I’ve come across the name before.
My research told me Piefed is developing at a much faster pace than Lemmy, is that true? I like the onboarding of Piefed better, because it allows you to select things you might be interested in as part of the process, which is helpful. Overall, it’s a much more guided approach.
I’ve also gotten to know it doesn’t really matter for the average user which of the platforms one joins. So I’m specifically posting this question on a community on Lemmy through my Piefed account.
I’m based in Europe if that makes a difference, which I believe it doesn’t. Nonetheless I’m happy to read your thoughts. Thanks
I have an account on both, both servers run by the same guy.
They’re both functionally equivalent. One doesn’t surface data significantly better than the other. For a webpage, Piefed moves a little faster on an average release. I prefer the user acct in the upper right with drop down rather than center top page with a dropdown.
I prefer seeing up and down votes upfront on my posts.
I like lemmy’s interface a bit better. I like the speed and cleanliness of piefed.
no wrong answers.
I’m relatively new here so I’ll probably get used to it eventually, however right now I still instinctively go to the top right to get to my account before realizing “Oh wait, it’s not there”.
